Jack Reacher. The ultimate loner. An elite ex-military cop who left the service years ago, he's moved from place to place...without family...without possessions...without commitments. And without fear. Which is good, because trouble--big, violent, complicated trouble--finds Reacher wherever he goes. And when trouble finds him, Reacher does not quit, not once...not ever. But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. And Reacher is a man who hates unfinished business. Ten years ago, a key investigation went sour and someone got away with murder. Now a chance encounter brings it all back. Now Reacher sees his one last shot. Some would call it vengeance. Some would call it redemption. Reacher would call it...justice.
Jack Reacher, the taciturn ex-MP whose adventures in Lee Child's six previous solidly plotted, expertly paced thrillers have won a devoted fan base, returns in this explosive tale of an undercover operation set up by the FBI to rescue an agent investigating Zachary Beck, a reclusive tycoon believed to be a kingpin in the drug trade. The novel begins with a bang as Reacher rescues Beck's son from a staged kidnapping in order to get close to his father--and trace the connection between Beck and Quinn, a former army intelligence officer who tried to sell blueprints of a secret weapon to Iraq but was murdered before he could pull it off. Or so Reacher thinks, until he spots Quinn in the crowd at a concert in Boston. As usual, Child ratchets up the tension and keeps the reader in suspense until the last page, although his enigmatic hero hardly ever seems to break a sweat. In the tough guy tradition, Reacher and his creator are overdue for a breakout, and this muscular, well-written mystery might be the one. --Jane Adams

JACK REACHER NUMBER SEVEN:
In almost every book in the Reacher series, Lee Child asks the reader to accept the premise that a police agency or government agency will ask a drifter, out of work loner to save the day, albeit, ex military police officer, and along the way probably break a lot of laws and be smart than the folks he works for. That being accepted the Jack Reacher stories are a fun worthwhile read. I like the stories and the character Jack Reacher. PERSUADER is one of the better ones I have read so far, and as always I... more info
A little slow...but still entertains:
After reading "The Enemy", I expected the same sort of fast-paced, tension filled thriller for this book as well. I was a bit disappointed. What started off promising left me disappointed throughout the book. While the storyline itself is solid and Jack Reacher is his same dry, witty self, the story line lacked the heart pumping action I experienced in "The Enemy". The ending was predictable. However, the book still entertained and kept me engaged. The Last Saint
Child Bangs Out Another Winner:
This is #7 in the series and I've read them in order. This is my favorite thus far; Without Fail (#6) was a disappointment and Child bounced right back with a winner here. The plot has much greater depth, there is a host of characters who all play significant roles in the story, it roars with plenty of action and Reacher gets all the bad guys. If you want an excellent escapism-type book, one where good wins out over evil and you don't mind the violence that comes with it, then this is a book you'll love.... more info
Not for the squeamish:
Former MP Jack Reacher seems to be at the wrong - or right - place at the wrong time. He sees Richard Beck, a young college student, being kidnapped and steps in to help, killing the the kidnappers, the boys's bodyguards and a cop in the process. Beck convinces Reacher to drive him to his secluded Maine home with the promise of a safe place for Reacher to hide out. Once they arrive and Reacher is safely ensconced inside the fortress, he removes a small device from his shoe and uses it to send a startling... more info
